Houston, Close, Florida to Mississippi then north. I would have thought north up the st. Lawrence seaway to Chicago.

Thanks for that mental picture.

and up the Mississippi River to Illinois. Good thing for the St Louis mafia that it won't be powered up or all the submerged cars will stick to the bottom of the barge like so many giant barnacles with bodies inside.

These scientific types are such dummies. Why not build it in IL instead of NY? Hello?
How many thousands of our taxpayer dollars did that silly model cost, including the economic and environmental impact statements?

Hey, with a load that wide, you can't just go anywhere you want. So it's following Michelle Obama's route home?

READ MORE"It costs about 10 times less to move the magnet from Brookhaven to Illinois than it would to build a new one," said Lee Roberts of Boston University, spokesman for the Muon g-2 experiment.
Even physicists can have problems with simple English.
I assume he meant one tenth as much to move... But I'm just guessing here.

**The Muon g-2 team has devised a plan to make the 3,200-mile journey that involves loading the ring onto a specially prepared truck that will transport it to a barge that will bring it down the East Coast, around the tip of Florida and up the Mississippi River to Illinois.**

These scientific types are such dummies. Why not build it in IL instead of NY? Hello? You read my mind.
These egghead physicists are supposedly the biggest brainiacs on the planet, yet they couldn't figure out that it would be a lot simpler to ship the darn thing in pieces, then put it together at the end of the line.
Sheeesh....

I wonder how much it cost to build the cute little model with the all the details, down to the guys burying the body on the side of the road?
